POR-15. A little more money but well worth it.

Don't know how much it would cost, but I would say Implament (tractor) paint. That stuff is tough!

where could I find this tractor paint
Dupont epoxy black. Goes on with no need to primer. Just sandblast the frame and spray the epoxy black on it and call it done.
Or if you have a little cash to spend, take it somewhere and get it powder coated.
Another option would be to galvanize it if you can find a plant close by with large enough tank to fit a frame in.
I've never dealt with POR15 and probably won't. My opinion is, like powder coating, it will be hard, if not impossible, to remove if the need ever arises that you need the coating off to work/fix/repair the frame. Thats why I say use epoxy paint as you can repaint over it and epoxy is real tough and durable paint. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I used Rustoleum professional grade (or something lke that) stuff. I like it.
I used to have POR 15, but it doesnt stay nice and shiny(which most of you prolly dont carw about), and it peeled off. I dont think its worth it.
Oh and brake fluid will take it off, as i learned.

im going to go with something cheap and readily available. if you ever plan on putting your truck in a situation where you might scratch it, its alot easier to crawl under there with a spray can, than it is to do all the BS with POR.
